Here are the list of questions I have while we are planning to integrate with clover customers

  1. In my understanding all of my clients will have a sandbox account in that there is secret key that they can create and give it to us for accessing their data. Even in production level that's the use-case?. In real time all of the data can be acquired with mid/acces_key?
  2. We are planning to track customer orders/payments. I can only see sample data for inventory. For us to pre-start, do we have any sample data?

1) No, merchants do not create sandbox accounts. Sandbox is for third party developers to test out their applications. Sandbox and production are completely separate environments. You will create a Clover web application, it will go through our approval process and then a merchant will grant you access to their data by approving the permissions your app requests and installing your app from the Clover App Market. You will then obtain an access token on the merchant's behalf via the OAuth flow. Please take a look at this - https://community.clover.com/content/kbentry/29543/obtaining-an-access-token-via-the-oauth-flow-in-sa.html which outlines the process on sandbox and provides other helpful links.

2) No, you can use the Rest API or a devkit to create orders.
